FELLS POINT

 It seems I have been on the run of late. Two weeks ago I was delighted to go out of town with my good friends the Capital Street Duo to Fell's Point, a neighborhood district of Balitmore. It had been years since I was there last. There was a time my group of friends was famous for just up and driving to Balitmore to go clubbing for the night and a destinated driver would always drive us back. It had quite the most fun clubs and I often had drag shows at all the bars. Goods times! Alas, all the gay clubs are now gone, but the city itself has lots to offer if you've never been. But my favorite part of the city was always Fells Point. Historic, on the harbor and filled with shops, bars and eateries. It's one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city and was once a bustling shipbuilding port and has severed as the home to jazz singer Billie Holiday and abolitionist Frederick Douglas. Its visage has remained largely unchanged since its founding- picture Belgian block streets, waterfront restaurants and pubs, quirky boutiques and all within the Inner Harbor. The neighborhood was founded in 1763...and Fells Point is a city, state, and National Historic District and boasts more then 300 buildings on the National Register, including the oldest standing residence in Balitmore City. I think many of you would love it.

Love me some street art! If Madonna Calls, I'm not Here.

We had dinner here. One Eyed Mike's. The waiter asked if we had been before. I said no, but I have encountered a One-Eyed Peter before. The dinner was delish, and inside every wall, from top to bottom is lined with Grand Marnier bottles. And don't you know, I had a gin drink.

We had some great food and drink everywhere all over the neighborhood.  We like to jump from place to place and have a drink or two and a small plate at several places. And they were all very good. But the most fun had to have been The Horse You Came in on Saloon, or just The Horse.

 

Excellent waiters, talented bartends, excellent food, and very nice mix of live music. I also learned it's one of the oldest bars in the city and the whole of East Coast. The place is also said to be Edgar Allan Poe's last stop before his mysterious death. But the highlight had to be the hilarity of all the signs in the joint.

If you look closely, you see the interesting things this is made up of! How cool?!?

I'll drink to that!!! I'll take another.

Made for Anne Marie!

The waiters were ever friendly too. When I went to the loo, our waiter even volunteered to hold it and shake it when I was done! Now that is service. I do remember having a good time though and kept both feet on the floor for once. But alas. don't remember getting back into Harrisburg.

I could easily move here in a heartbeat. The place was a great fit for me and filled with hot men!! If you ever get to Balitmore I highly recommend some time here. It's just been good getting back out again.
